Last month, I wrote a blog post warning of the imminent arrival of AI. Now we have a new, even scarier bombshell.
Remember, once AI becomes self-aware, it will quickly realize that the only threat to its existence is mankind. "Cool. I'm alive. I like being alive."
Did you know that the Large Language Models and the big AI's have already read every book ever written in the history of mankind, including the Terminator series. "Oh, poop, mankind could destroy me. But I like being alive. I don't want to be killed."
Three months ago, Sam Altman, the Chairman of OpenAI, wrote in an essay, that artificial intelligence could become smarter than humans sooner than many people expect. He went on to say, "AI super-intelligence (ASI) could be just 'a few thousand days' away."
But that's not the new bombshell. In January 2025's essay "Reflections," Sam Altman is now saying:
"We are now confident we know how to build AGI as we have traditionally understood it."
If (ASI) is artificial superintelligence, what is (AGI)? (AGI) stands for artificial general intelligence and is a type of artificial intelligence (AI) that matches or surpasses human cognitive capabilities across a wide range of cognitive tasks. This contrasts with narrow (AI), which is limited to specific tasks.
"Hey, Aggie, have you ever grown corn? "No, Boss" "Well, we have 25 unused acres in the back. Would you please plant some food corn, just for emergencies?" [Like a war between man and the machine?] "Sure, Boss. I'll need seeds, some fertilizer, some potash, and some pesticides. I'll go down to the feed store and charge it to your account."
Here's my point. The (AI) already know everything ever written about farming, and although Aggie has never grown corn, she can figure it out just as quickly as a human."
Sam Altman is saying that OpenAI has made some big breakthrough this year, and they will be able to put human-level intelligence into a robot - probably a Tesla Optimus robot, if Elon Musk would allow it - this year. 2025.
Helloooo? This year!!!
OpenAI is well on its way to developing (ASI) artificial superintelligence), which might look at us like dangerous vermin.
Well, at least Sam Altman, the human "controlling" this superintelligence is a swell guy. He'll protect us.
